\"stone<\/a>
\nlitho stone in progress, piece will be 1080 x 380 mm<\/small><\/p>\n

Am on residence at the Frans Masereel Centre<\/a> in Belgium at the moment, working on a new series that is being printed by printmaker and artist Zhane Warren<\/a>, and published by Art on Paper Gallery (Johannesburg). It’s an extension of my Compressionist<\/a> works, and my last solo show at AOP, Call and Response<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Compressionism<\/a> is a “digital performance and analog archive.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I traverse bodies, spaces and objects with my scanner face, while its head is in motion. After being Compressed into digital images the size of a small sheet of paper, the files are then stretched, cropped and colored by hand, then printed as editioned, archival works. Later pieces in the series further transform details of these prints into hand-made art objects: etchings, engravings, aquatints, planographs, carborundum, monotype and more.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compressionism<\/a> is an exploration of media and perception, a transfiguration in time and seeing.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve done some new performative scans since my show with Haydn Shaughnessy<\/a> (these will be printed on metallic paper through photographic processes), and am amidst working in stone litho, silk screen, wood cut and dry point. We’re playing up the bands of light and color that Brenton Maart remarked on in Art South Africa<\/a>, a relic of the digital scanning performances, by creating manufactured spaces on our stones and screens. Will post links to images of the finished works in a little over a week!<\/p>\n
